To investigate the effect of a treatment with Imatinib mesylate, Pioglitazone , Etoricoxib, and Dexamethasone in combination with metronomic chemotherapy (Treosulfane) on the PSA response rate in patients with hormone refractory prostate cancer. A patient will be defined as a responder if a PSA decline of at least 50%, which must be confirmed by a second PSA value 4 weeks later, is observed. A patient will be defined as a non-responder if PSA has not decreased during treatment. Non-response is defined as a 25% increase over the baseline on-study which is confirmed (equal or more) by a second value 4 weeks apart. The absolute increase must account for \> 5 ng/ml.
